This was the only thing my dd has asked for. i was excited when I saw that walmart had it for 49.99 so i planned a sitter stayed up instead of sleeping before I had to go to work and waited in line for an hour and a half. Get home charge it turn it on and the damn screen it broken! Walmart said there is nothing they can do but give me a refund. Even though they are still in stock online and even though they were giving guarantee tickets that you prepay for in the store and order it online and they ship it to the store. It looks like someone dropped the pallet because the box is fine. The lady didn't even care I was having an issue she couldn't get away fast enough it seemed. Why don't companies care if their service is shitty anymore? Sorry vent over.

I posted what happened on fb. Thank the Lord for friends! One posted a pic of a price tag. Toys r us had a Polaroid table marked down from 129 to 49.99!!!!! I took the first one back after explaining what happened and they took it back no problem! Super excited she's going to get exactly what she wanted for Christmas. And fyi that sale is going till tomorrow for those of you looking for a cheap tablet!

I emailed walmart.com and rca who makes the tablet. Hopefully one of them will help. I've had issues returning things here before like a recalled toaster(recalled because they were catching on fire) because I didn't have the box!

I agree on waiting a few days. Remember most of these employees have worked two shifts today already. My SO worked 7am-3pm, and went back for a 5pm-1am shift. He goes back 5am to 1pm. Two shifts are required at his store. If you go when they're tired and over worked, of course they'll stare at you blankly. Their policy, with a receipt, is a refund or exchange. When the sale is over they should get them back in stock in store, and you can do an exchange. Just be patient and keep calling every other day for a stock check, if it's in stock have them put it on hold. Still lots of time until Christmas to get a new one. :)

Order it online then take the other one back. If you pay more online take that recept too and tell them that since it was broken you want to be refunded the online price. Wal-Mart will usually work with you. That woman did not handle the situation very well. Hopefully they will do what is right.

The stripe on the right shouldn't be there. Like when a flat screen falls the screen breaks.
